Thanks to Bob S, Mark S and Thierry for your help. It and = can be used. The lock and unlock messages did the trick. Mark-- thanks for the info re select difference in 5.5.2 which required the lock stuff.
I finally came up with: on openField answer information "Want to enter a new value?" with "No" or "Yes" titled "New Amount" lock messages If it = "Yes" then select text of me unlock messages end openField "No" works as it should without any reference to it.
